from receiving basic benefits of health, education and social welfare. Accordingly, a measure to guarantee the right to birth registration of all children regardless of their residence status and nationality must be devised. 12-2. Provision of Stable Medical Service for Migrant Children 62. For children, health is the most basic prerequisite for survival and development, and they must be provided with stable medical service. That is why the government has been trying to prevent the deprivation of the child’s right to access medical service through the health insurance system and medical care assistance system. 63. However, even when the migrants staying in Korea for a long time are eligible to join the employer-insured insurance or self-employed insured insurance, the coverage rate is significantly low due to several reasons, and undocumented migrant children are not allowed to join the health insurance at all. 64. In addition, medical care assistance system, which guarantees provision of the medical care for low-income citizens who have no or less life-sustaining ability, recognizes only recognized refuges as special exceptions, and excludes migrants, leading to a number of migrant children whose not only health but also survival is being threatened. 65. Therefore, it is needed to review the amendment of the National Health Insurance Act and the Medical Care Assistance Act so that at least children can be covered by the health insurance regardless of their status of sojourn and migrant children of the low-income family can receive the medical assistance. 12-3. Guarantee of the Complete Right to Education of Migrant Children 66. With the amendment of the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, migrant children, regardless of their status of sojourn, can attend elementary and middle schools which are compulsory. However, there are migrant children who are still unable to receive compulsory education due to their parent’s indifference, neglect or lack of information. In addition, there were cases where migrant children who have entered Korea in the middle of their studies and are eligible for stay are refused admission because the transfer or admission is at the discretion of the school principals under the current law. 67. Nationwide, there are 23 Rainbow Schools, alternative schools that provide support for Korean language education and school life for migrant children. 15
